Edward Hopper

(Study of Firemen with Hose Entering Building)
1895–1899

A sketch on tan paper depicting three figures from behind, walking through a dark, roughly drawn archway. The figures appear to be wearing hats, with the one on the right carrying a briefcase. The scene is framed by expressive, dark lines suggesting a hurried or dynamic atmosphere. The rest of the paper is mostly blank, with some faint lines and smudges.
